I see where you were going with that.That would be a difficult one to get anywhere though, they would have to use that to tie to being a protected class like race or gender and say this was an excuse to get rid of them.

Once the media started in on recovery talk, it was off to the races.

Okay, I've beat this dead horse enough.

Is this DOS horse dead yet?

As I am racing for retirement income (43yrs old) I can tell you that money saved on interest may not be as valuable as money earned on investments.

It's a donkey from two different animals, the mule being the lease and the horse being ownership rights.Making an agreement to pay higher amounts as rents and saying part of the rent is credited or goes toward a purchase price is mixing two different concepts in title.

Who needs 10K, someone who has little in financial horse power, what is thier ability to cover that with limited resources?

Good thin is you can skip rat race and go to fast track if you will gain access to network and in some cases this mentor can back up your data with experience on some deals to get funds and so on.

True, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him pull the trigger on a deal but most RE training has no stated learning objectives, no real student tracking and no way to measure long-term success.

REI is definitely something you can work on that will get you out of the 9 to 5 rat race :) I have similar goals to say bye bye to my job in the next few years.
